Hello lovelies! This post is brought to you by tired and simply exhausted preggo. Between household chores, errands. my part time job and a toddler, I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But it's all about to change as we are taking a family vacation next week - beach bum life here I come! Speaking of sunshine, doesn't this dress just scream summer and warmth? This print is my favorite and it has room for growth which is encouraging since I will need to wear something for the next two months. Thanks for stopping by!

If you think about how many changes a woman's body goes through while she's pregnant, it's simply amazing. From the expanding abdomen that's capable of accommodating a baby of any size (or a few) to how her bones shift to give way for the baby. The baby is getting everything he or she needs through mother without mother's knowledge or help. It's so fascinating! Every time I feel the baby move I'm simply amazed at the fact that I'm carrying a life inside of me. A brand new life that was created and given to me to bring into this world. How amazing is that? It is truly a miracle and I cannot wait to see our little baby girl!

Hi there. So I had a really good morning until Google decided to delete my post before I published it. So this is not how I wanted things to go. Do you think pregnancy is a good time to start wearing white skinny jeans? I think so, because before now I never even had a pair. Ha! Then I went to Target and saw these jeans which were much cheaper than this version, plus I had a coupon! A win win in my book.

P.S. Do you like that little feature with THEN and NOW? I love seeing how different items can be remixed on bloggers. Let me know what you think!

I haven't been a Lilly Pulitzer fan for a long time but I have admired the bright prints and patterns whenever someone else worn them. In fact, I stopped by their boutique once and was smitten with a pretty pink dress, although would never pay $150+ for it. When Target announced their collaboration I was totally on board with getting designer apparel for Target prices.

The entire shopping experience was a bit hectic and overwhelming (read here). Considering I live in a small town with very few fashionistas I did not think I would have to fight for a dress. This top was one of my Lilly scores as well and I'm so happy about it. It has spring/summer season pattern and will match to almost anything. I can't wait to wear it with shorts and over dresses all summer long. Share your finds with #LillyForTarget and tag me because I would love to see how you styled the items.

Hope your weekend was as nice as mine! I finally got to decorate my living room and dining room, arrange the gallery wall and do tons of spray painting. When in doubt, I spray paint stuff. It's the best thing in the world for those old things that need to be updated, like vases, lamps and frames. I can't wait to show you what our home looks like now. 

In other new, Lilly Pulitzer for Target was a fiasco fashionistas won't forget for a long time. I didn't think we would have that many shoppers in our small town store. Wrong! I got there @8:05 and everything was gone. I mean, everything! Many women stood outside of the dressing room waiting for the stuff others didn't want. In the end, my patience and stalking others with unwanted items paid off and I came home with a few things. There are a lot of angry Lilly fans out there because of the (super) limited availability of the collection and those trying to sell their hauls for three times the price on eBay. After checking Instagram and different hash tags I can see why people are upset about 'limited time' - which in this case means limited few hours. I can't wait to style my Lilly pieces on the blog soon! 

Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic are having their 40% OFF SALE (ends 4/21)!

Lilly Pulitzer x Target

If you haven't heard yet, Lily Pulitzer has teamed up with Target for a new collaboration! It's not the first time retailer asked a designer to create an exclusive collection, which by the way is stunning and has signature prints all over. I know that many times such collaborations sell out in hours. Check out the preview HERE and get your fingers ready to buy. If you have a Target store near by, make sure to hit it up first thing Sunday morning to get your hands on all the best merchandise (the stores will open as usual, no early birds). This is one of those times when I'm glad that I live in a small town where almost no one cares about fashion, so the collection will be there for weeks, mostly not sold.  

Everyone from celebrities to fashion bloggers are loving the collection and it makes me want to buy every single item on the list. Although with my growing bump I don't know how many pieces will fit. Definitely need a bathing suit for this summer so I'm eyeing one of those, as well as a straw bag. My favorite items from the collection are the wedges and Lily print clutch. What are your favorite pieces from the collection? Are you planning on scoring some items or couldn't care less?

If you want to share your finds on social media, use #LilyForTarget and let me know with #HappyMedley. I would love to see what you scored. Have a great weekend!
